-Trolls are a pre-"ordering" race (>Atleast 10,000 years.)
-Tauren are speculated to be a pre-"ordering" race (>Atleast 10,000 years.)
-Draenei were approached by Sargeras 25,000 years ago
-Nothing, as of yet, rules out Orcs.
-Nothing currently rules out Goblins

Let's look at races that have definitely lost:
-Humans were the offshoot of Vrykul (Which were the offshoot of Iron Vrykul), which were an "ordering" Race
-Dwarves were the offshoot of Iron Dwarves, which were an "ordering" Race
-Gnomes were the offshoot of Mecha-gnomes, which were an "ordering" Race
-Worgen are cursed Humans who were the offshoot of Vrykul (Which were the offshoot of Iron Vrykul), which were an "ordering" Race
-Night Elves are the descendants of Trolls.
-Forsaken are dead Humans who were the offshoot of Vrykul (Which were the offshoot of Iron Vrykul), which were an "ordering" Race
-Blood Elves are offshoots of Night Elves who are the descendants of Trolls.

-Pandaren could go either way, suspected to be related to furbolgs (Whether the predecessor or descendant, we don't know.) If the current theory is true, that they are Furbolgs shaped by the waters of the vale, then they wouldn't be in the "running". However, should the old theory prove true, and Furbolgs are the feral looking descendants of Pandaren, than they may be contenders.

While we can't technically rule out the Trolls, nothing implies that their civilizations come anywhere CLOSE to the age of the Draenei, who were incredibly advanced 25,000 years ago, and thus probably much, much older than that. Especially given that they seem to be near-immortal as a species.

Wouldn't Dwarves be the oldest as they were the earthen that had the curse of flesh put on them via the Old Gods? Unless your talking specifically about Dwarves as they are now and not their ancestors which then I guess would mean they are not the oldest....confusion

The Titans didn't actually make worlds. They found primitive worlds and tried to "order" them. Life already existed on them before the Titans arrived. We know for sure dragons did(as proto-drakes) and it's possible trolls and tauren were around as well.

Of those listed, Draenei most def. Velen who was old 25k years ago, was 1 of 3 leaders of a race already far more advance than an current other race. There was probably many generations of Draenei before him aswell.

The oldest race in existence, is probably a toss up of Titans, Naruu, Old Gods and the original demon race that has never once been mentioned, but anyone with a brain can figure out, exists. I'm kinda hoping Old Gods are the oldest.

Playable undead, and the majority of the Forsaken are humans.

The original demons had been Eradar till they broke the lore to make Draenei. I think now it's Nethrezim, dreadlords, pretty cool for space vampires.

The closest reconciliation the different sources has gaping holes: The Titans stumbled across Azeroth, then fought and imprisoned the Old Gods beneath the surface of the world (Tribunal says containment happened after Curse of Flesh). Then they seeded the planet with their constructs and set up the terraforming before leaving (WC3 lore says the Titans remained until the terraforming was complete). As the Earthen were doing their job deep underground, near to where the Old Gods were imprisoned, they became infected by the Curse of Flesh. The Titans came back to try to destroy the Old Gods completely, but found out this would be bad for Azeroth (for some reason they didn't discover this when they killed Y'Shaarj during the war). They strengthened the prisons, made new constructs, set up the Aspects, and left again.

You have to know that the First Old God that fought against the Titans was C'Thun. They were tricked when C'Thun feigned death. When the titan then killed Y'Shaarj, that when they found out the problem. C'Thun was thought to be one of two Old God that were killed by the Titans.

Yogg-Saron, N'Zoth, and unknown Old God were imprisoned. These three were part of the War of the Ancients.

C'Thun was busy raising an army called Aqir. This army was defeated by the Trolls' empires. C'Thun change his army once more, they become Qiraji. Nerubians have no connection with C'Thun or any of the Old Gods, in fact they will attack any minions of the Old Gods. Mantid is another Aqir race that still serve the Old God like their cousin, Qiraji. C'Thun never join the other three in the War of the Ancients, due to the fact that he was never "imprisoned".

war of the ancients = First Demon invasion

The war with the old gods and titans has no real details about it yet, for you to make such claims. All that is known is that 1 god died, 1 god fell and 3 were imprisoned. C'thun didn't feign death, he was weakened to near death.

The Nerubians lore is weird, they were the first insect ppl we meet, but we never really get into their lore, like we do with the mantid and the Qiraji. Attacking old Gods minions? when have you ever seen the Nerubians do that? Pretty sure that with Twilight cultists running around in their depths, they are loyal to the Old Gods to some degree.

N'Zoth wasn't defeated.

N'zoth is still lurking. The Titans couldn't defeat it... maybe someday we'll get our chance? Don't expect to hear anything about him in Pandaria, though! (Source)

But Dwarfs doesn't come from the Trolls, so when did Dwarfs come to life? Also the Pandaren seem pretty ancient?

Back in WotLK you got to see the origin of both the Gnomes and Dwarves. They were inanimate objects created by the Titans to safeguard Azeroth, but over time they got transformed into beings made of flesh and bone.

Trolls, however, predates them since they existed before the Titans arrived on Azeroth.
